DETAILED DESCRIPTION
A simple way to get clear answers from one easy urine sample
The Drugs of Abuse Screen, Urine Collection Lab Test is a simple urine test that looks for a range of commonly used drugs.
It is a clinical urine screen, which means it is used to give health-related information and is not a chain-of-custody test for court, legal, or workplace compliance.
This test is collected at home using a urine sample and then shipped to the lab for analysis.
It can be a useful option when you want a straightforward way to check for recent exposure to specific drugs in urine.
WHAT'S BEING TESTED
A broad screen that checks for multiple commonly tested substances
This urine screen checks for (labtest):
- Amphetamine
- Barbiturates
- Benzodiazepines
- Cocaine
- Delta-9 THC
- MDMA
- Methadone
- Methamphetamine
- Opiates
- Oxycodone
- Phencyclidine
These are common drug classes or substances that can be measured in a urine-based drug screen. Public test information for this product describes it as a urine screen used to measure drug levels in urine.
HOW IT WORKS
Easy at-home collection with simple steps from start to finish
- Collect your first morning urine in the provided collection cup.
- Use the provided pipette to move urine into the specimen tube.
- Fill the tube to the 3 mL line and close it tightly.
- Put the tube into the biohazard bag.
- Keep the sample refrigerated until you are ready to ship it.
- Send it back as soon as possible using the provided return materials.
Before collecting, do not drink excessive water, because that can affect the sample. The instructions also say the sample must be labeled correctly with name, date of birth, collection date, and sample type.
THE TEST IS FOR YOU, IF...
A good fit when you want a clear, private, and convenient screening option
- You want a simple at-home urine test
- You want to check for recent drug exposure
- You want a clinical screening test for personal health information
- You want a process that is easy to collect and ship from home
This test is not the right fit if you need a legally documented drug test for work, probation, or other official chain-of-custody use.
This screen is for clinical, not chain-of-custody, purposes.
YOUR ADVANTAGES
Fast, straightforward testing designed to make the process easier
Easy to collect at home
You do not need a blood draw. You only need a urine sample collected at home.
Straightforward process
The instructions are simple: collect, transfer, seal, refrigerate, and ship.
Checks multiple substances in one test
Instead of testing one drug at a time, this screen looks at a wider panel in a single urine sample.
Useful for personal clinical screening
This test is designed for health-related screening, not legal documentation. That makes its purpose clear from the start.

FAQ - Answers To Your Questions
What is GI Map testing?
GI Map (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) analysis focuses on the genetic material of microorganisms in the gastrointestinal tract.
GI Map Testing is an advanced clinical evaluation that is considered as a state of the art for characterization of gut microbial population metabolism.
This test gives an impression of the overall gut microbiota not only of the bacteria but also of the parasites, viruses, and funguses present with several indicators related to the gut health status and functions.
Who can benefit from GI Map testing?
GI Map testing can be used by anyone that has gastrointestinal complaints, autoimmune disease, inflammatory bowel disease IBD, or anyone who aims to push their overall health into high performance.
How is the GI Map test conducted?
Stool material from the client is collected as the test sample for the test. The specimen is however taken and forwarded for processing by an expert in a laboratory.
The output describes how many of each species of gut microorganism are present.
What are the sample collection requirements?
All our collection kits come with clear and concise instructions.
Why Is quantification using qPCR Technology so important?
qPCR offers a much more accurate and reliable result. This allows experts to study and determine the clinical significance of the microorganisms far more than the use of standard PCR, culturing, microscopy or sequencing approaches.
In practical terms, there is a need for a practitioner to find out just how many pathogenic organisms or pathogenic dysbiosis patterns are contained within the stool sample of the client being diagnosed.
How do I interpret the GI Map Microbiome Stool Test Results?
We recommend you discuss your quantitative results with an IFDW Expert for a comprehensive stool analysis.
What are the specimen requirements, and do I need to prepare fast?
What to do: Single Stool Sample – Ambient room temperature in specimen vial provided.
And there is no need to prepare or fast before testing.
What does dl signify on the GI-MAP Report mean?
< dl indicates "less than the detectable limit."
Do I need to stop taking any of my medications before I Collect My GI-MAP sample?
No. Please continue taking all medications unless otherwise directed by your provider.
These instructions may vary by provider so you may want to check with your provider. They may also have dietary restrictions as well depending on the testing.
Is the Client responsible for postage?
No, collection kits include a pre-paid 2 business day FedEx return label if mailed within the U.S.
Can I drop off my Collection Kit at a local FedEx office?
Yes, please follow the packing and shipping instructions provided with the collection kit.
Your tracking number can be found on the Return Label. Please keep this tracking number for sample tracking purposes.
The postage-paid envelope can be dropped off at any Fed Ex Drop Box, but ensure that the drop box is cleared within the same day or the next day. We only require that the specimen be received within 10 days after collection.
How accurate is GI Map testing?
Experts in the field rate the GI Map testing as very accurate and dependable. It employs improved molecular diagnostic procedures to detect the presence of microorganisms within the gastrointestinal tract, hence an effective improvement on traditional diagnosis.
How often should GI Map testing be repeated?
The number of tests done is wholly dependent on health status and specific problems that are being solved.
After an intervention is done, for example, gastrointestinal practitioners may suggest follow-up tests to determine how effective the intervention was and look at changes that have happened over time with the gut microflora.
As per the practice in Harmony in Health Nutrition, protocols are typically followed for 3 months and retesting is done between 2-4 weeks after the protocol has been completed.
How long does it take to get my results?
After sending (FEDEX) your sample, give it 3-5 business days for the specimen to arrive at the lab. Results will be released roughly within 7 to 10 working days although on some odd occasions it may take three weeks.
How do I get my GI MAP test results?
When test results are ready they’ll be available to you in your client account at https://ifdw.org/pages/login-client-portal. You need to activate your account in order to view these results.
Right after the test was ordered, a letter with an invitation for account activation should have been sent to your email address.
Please check your inbox and also look in your spam folder if you haven’t seen the email yet.
Can I have someone do a review or consultation of my GI Map test results with me?
Yes. You can purchase the GI Map and request a Result Consultation.
Just choose the “With Result Consultation” option above when making the purchase.
We highly recommend talking to an IFDW Expert about your results as they are quite difficult to interpret.
